1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

BRCA1 mediates resistance to apoptosis in response to DNA-damaging agents, causing BRCA1 wild-type tumours to be significantly more resistant to DNA damage than their mutant counterparts. In this study, we demonstrate that following treatment with the DNA-damaging agents, etoposide or camptothecin, BRCA1 is required for the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and that BRCA1 and NF-κB cooperate to regulate the expression of the NF-κB antiapoptotic targets BCL2 and XIAP. We show that BRCA1 and the NF-κB subunit p65/RelA associate constitutively, whereas the p50 NF-κB subunit associates with BRCA1 only upon DNA damage treatment. Consistent with this BRCA1 and p65 are present constitutively on the promoters of BCL2 and XIAP, whereas p50 is recruited to these promoters only in damage treated cells. Importantly, we demonstrate that the recruitment of p50 onto the promoters of BCL2 and XIAP is dependent upon BRCA1, but independent of its NF-κB partner subunit p65. The functional relevance of NF-κB activation by BRCA1 in response to etoposide and camptothecin is demonstrated by the significantly reduced survival of BRCA1 wild-type cells upon NF-κB inhibition. This study identifies a novel BRCA1-p50 complex, and demonstrates for the first time that NF-κB is required for BRCA1-mediated resistance to DNA damage. It reveals a functional interdependence between BRCA1 and NF-κB, further elucidating the role played by NF-κB in mediating cellular resistance of BRCA1 wild-type tumours to DNA-damaging agents.
